The Waqf (Amendment) Act, which was passed by Parliament last week, has come into force from today (April 8), the government said in a notification.
The Supreme Court would likely on April 15 hear a batch of pleas challenging the constitutional validity of the Waqf (Amendment) Act, 2025. The Centre, however, on Tuesday filed a caveat in the apex court and sought a hearing before any order was passed in the matter. The caveat is filed by a party in the high courts and the apex court to ensure that no orders are passed without hearing it.
